> The article misses to tell us what he has said.


The article does include this summary:

Hedges' book contends that war poisons cultures and
that in wartime people suspend their individual
consciences for the conscience of war. Hedges said he
related those ideas to the war in Iraq, saying that
the capacity to wage war doesn't give a country the
right to wage war. 
Hedges, a veteran war correspondent, writes a column
about prominent people in the New York area for the
Times. 
"If I'm covering something directly, I think one has
to be very careful about the public statements they
make," he said. "I can't write a book on the culture
of war and not say something about how that culture
has infected us since 9-11." 

Hedges' speech:
